Auburn is a good program. 5-1 in national titles since he started is fairly dominant. He’s also helped get two of their coaches canned as he tied the record for most championships.
Saban has dominated all of college football and not just Auburn. Bama got very lucky that we got him. What he’s done is unreal.

That is the difference between Auburn and Alabama. Auburn looks for domination from a head to head perspective. Alabama looks at domination from a National Title perspective. Look at SEC Titles, National Titles and tell me Auburn has not been dominated since Saban has been at Alabama.
Do you really think Auburn and Alabama are on equal footing? or anybody and Alabama for that matter?

Winning 4 out of 11 good for you?
This isn’t a baseball batting average.

Nope. He for whatever reason has had a tough time beating Auburn even at LSU. Coach Saban has very little margin for error left when playing Auburn for the remainder of his career at Alabama. For comparison Coach Bryant only lost to Auburn 6 times in 25 years

The average margin of victory in those seven victories for Alabama has been 23 points. So yeah, I'd call that domination. One of those Auburn wins was in Saban's first year, the ones in 2010 and 2013 were herculean comebacks that might as well be classified as miracles, while the 2017 game was against a depleted and injured Alabama team in Jordan-Hare. Plus, had Tagovailoa been the QB in that game instead of Hurts, we might be looking at a different outcome.

In the 2000's, UA's worst decade of football since the 1950's, UA was 3-7 against AU. CNS won 2 of those 3. In spite of the ineptitude of a sanctioned riddled team with multiple HC changes, AU only managed a 17.9 to 17 pt avg scoring differential.
In the 2010's, UA is 5-3 vs AU with a 34.3 to 21.4 scoring differential. For perspective, that is a 12.9 pt avg scoring advantage for UA over that time period, while the 12 point AU victory in the 2017 Iron Bowl was Auburn's largest margin of victory since 1969.
Highlighted by domination in recruiting, head-to-head, championships and a couple 36+ point to nothing blowouts, yes, I'd say CNS has dominated AU with all other things in context.
Although, the focus in 2018 is not the focus in 2007 for CNS. He is no longer rallying the masses to turnaround a program that started with ending his program rivals' win streaks. The IB is still a significant rivalry. But, while it remains AU's superbowl, this year's IB loss for UA proved as significant as the back to back Ole Miss losses for UA.

Stolen from another poster but i think this speaks volumes of where Saban is.
Thanks for your daily interest in the Bama dynasty.

I consider the fact he has made the iron bowl irrelevant pretty much domination of Auburn.
Posted on 2/13/18 at 10:21 am to AU24
no,and he never will!!!

He says "dominate Auburn," he means "win so many national titles Auburn comes out the other end desperate for a moral victory." Gotta read between the lines.

This year's loss was the catalyst for the NC playoff run. We appreciate the part AU played in helping Bama win the NC.
